Sherrod Brown said his loss to Republican Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno in Ohio “is a disappointment, but it is not a failure.” The three-term Democrat gave his concession speech in Columbus. “It will never be wrong to fight for organized labor, it will never be wrong to fight for the freedom of women to make their healthcare decisions, it surely will never be wrong to fight for civil rights and human rights,” he said.
In Cleveland, Moreno praised former President Donald Trump and pledged to help advance his agenda in Washington. He said he would work to win over those who didn’t vote for him. “We talked about wanting a red wave.
